Being Forgetful

Just 30 minutes to go before we leave for Heathrow... what I mean is before I take N to Heathrow (as I'm leaving on Tuesday with my Mum and T). At least N and I will only be separated for 3 days this time! This morning I thought of something which I wanted to remind N of but I promptly forgot what it was - so I have this nagging feeling we may have forgotten something important to take...

Free Dinner at Pizza Express

Just got back from a free dinner courtesy of Pizza Express. How did this come about I hear you say? Well a few weeks back we were fobbed off with a "We are not doing take aways as we have run out of boxes" and then "We are only taking telephone bookings". The restaurant was half empty and clearly the staff couldn't be arsed to do any work... so I e-mailed Pizza Express with our complaints and a few days later - presto! - we received a letter saying if we showed the letter we would receive a meal of £30 for free. Which brings me back to tonight. Of course we didn't show the letter before the meal as I'm sure there would have been some saliva mingling with my Sloppy Giuseppe we showed it when we came to "pay"... and do you know what? They even had an extra beer on the bill which I did not have. The letter was taken away and the useless manager didn't even come up to us to apologise. Pizza Express pizzas are fine... I have no problem with the food. As for the staff at the WGC restaurant - they are utter crap!!!

Rant over.

Countdown to Cape Town

The Event is about to begin! Watch this space for the lowdown on the wedding of the year... if I get a chance (which is probably unlikely) I'll update my Blog whilst I'm there.

Sad Kermit!

This is funny...

"Prepare for Glory!"

I went and saw 300 on Saturday afternoon at The Galeria and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a combination of Gladiator and Troy with a similar visual style to Sin City. Gerard Butler is excellent as King Leonides and sounds a bit like Sean Connery with the shouting style and beard of Brian Blessed. All the Spartan warriors sport six packs (probably created by the extensive CGI). The chief baddie is a really tall effeminite Xerxes who is the Godking of the Persians - out for world domination. Anyway I thoroughly recommend it.

Rating: 7.5/10

Gordon Brown

If the Labour Party think that Gordon Brown will win them the next general election they are sorely mistaken. This tedious prat has had a charisma bypass - every facet about him is appalling... and have you noticed how he disappears when there is trouble around? Even his name is boring!

Rant over.

Liz Hurley

Another utterly talentless individual... why the hell does this woman even deserve our attention. All she is known for is shagging Hugh Grant and wearing a dress held together with safety pins. Sod off Liz!

Rant over.

John Inman

I was genuinely very sad to read that John Inman has died. "I'm free" will always be remembered.

Lloyds TSB

Taken from MSN

"Lloyds TSB has recently slapped some of its ‘naughtier’ customers with a “low usage fee”. They will now have to pay a penalty of £35 if they don’t regularly use their card. The bank reckons the fee will affect only about 1% of its customers, but it could still generate revenue of £1.79 million in one month alone, according to figures by Uswitch.

It’s astonishing, isn’t it? Lloyds TSB recently announced profits of more than £4 billion, yet still it hits customers with sneaky charges. It’s also a bank that has bleated about bad debts, yet still it seems happy to encourage people to borrow on their credit card."

Beggars Belief!!!
